… so yesterday I posted a little anecdote about how I was slightly foolish on the plane from my wonderful trip to Central Florida back home. I would say it’s a bit less foolish and more dorky. Either way, the point of the piece, it can be assumed, is to laugh at me rather than […]

Yesterday Hilly and I spent the day at Daytona Beach. And then drove around the coast a bit up A1A (Beachfront Avenue!) to see some of the more ritzy beach houses. This was my first time at Daytona — and Hilly’s first time experiencing a beach on this side of the continent. She noticed that […]

We have a pretty good pharmacy in our 24-hour supermarket. We’ve used it ever since we moved into our home eight years ago. The personnel might change from time to time, but on the most part we have good service. We can call in refills by phone most of the time through their automated system. […]

As I’ve mentioned, there are many boxes of stuff that have accumulated over the years. My mom would save anything and everything — and I guess the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. I also saved quite a bit. And during my college years, I was moving back and forth between different dorm rooms […]

You’ve probably noticed that I haven’t blogged for a while. I mean — “List on the 3s” notwithstanding, you haven’t really seen any new material from me. This is because I’ve been busy. And constipated. Tonight marks the end of the eight-day holiday of Passover — one whose dietary restrictions react with the colon like […]

You know what my favorite recurring theme from the long running television series Cheers was? It was when they would involve a not-so-friendly rivalry with the other bar in Boston — which happened to be Gary’s Olde Town Tavern. It was nice to see some competition between the two establishments and the camaraderie that everyone […]

Just a few quick notes before the weekend officially ends. I mean, it’s really about time I posted. A while back I promised pictures from Purim and I haven’t paid up. Don’t worry; I’ll leave those to the very end. * Purim went quite well. Our synagogue had a new tradition this year — in […]

* One of my goals for 2009 is to post a blog for every day of the year. I’m still sticking to it eleven days in, which I suppose is a good thing. True — some of them have been posted slightly after midnight EST on the next day, but at least it’s a post […]

It was an interesting day today — the latter part of it was spent dealing with a kid who complained that his finger hurt. Not to us, of course — he had “forgotten” to let us know when it started hurting last night. But he told one of his teachers. Who noticed that the thing […]

List on the — no, wait. different day, different meme: * I’m feedburnin’! I’ve finally decided to get on the Feedburner bandwagon. This is my first post since I changed over to it (and redirected my original RSS feed to it), so hopefully everyone who is already subscribed to the old feed is reading this […]
